Bye Week Game Post

Perfect weekend for a bye. Leave your thoughts on any game you'd like in the comments. Here are the games I'm watching. Keep in mind, I have a three TV set up in the living room. It isn't exactly Phil Steele's set up that he shows in this year's magazine, but it gets the job done.

Bye Week Viewing Guide

All games ranked on the bourbon scale (apologies to TSL's bourbonstreet and Wild Turkey CFR are in order): 4 bourbons = must watch; 3 bourbons = still great football; 2 bourbons = only if you have a rooting interest; 1 bourbon = just check the box score.

2. LSU at FloridaI have no clue who's going to win this one, which is why I'm so giddy to watch it. I'll be rooting for Florida, though, and here's why:

3 Bourbons

3. Notre Dame at North CarolinaThis game gets higher billing because I'm an ACC homer and it involves the opportunity to root against Notre Dame.

4. Penn State at WisconsinThe Wisconsin band is back. But will it be enough to keep the Badgers from going 0-3 in the Big Ten? Probably not. I knew Wisconsin was overrated this year.

5. Oklahoma State at MissouriIf you're a fan of oodles of sweet, sweet, delicious points, this might actually be worth four bourbons to you. Plus you get to see Heisman candidate Chase Daniel(s) give me a fantasy team a victory, single-handedly.

6. Tennessee at GeorgiaTennessee's defense is good. But do you really think they're going to score more than 14 points this time around against the Dawgs?
